Article VI - Board of Estimates

Section 8(b)(3) and (c)

                     Recitals

 

The revenue appropriated by this Ordinance represents funds from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES”) in excess of the revenue relied on by the Board of Estimates in determining the tax levy required to balance the budget for Fiscal Year 2021.

 

This additional revenue could not have been reasonably anticipated when the Ordinance of Estimates for Fiscal Year 2021 was formulated.

 

This appropriation is made necessary by a material change in circumstances since the Ordinance of Estimates for Fiscal Year 2021 was formulated or is for a new program that could not have been reasonably anticipated when that Ordinance of Estimates was formulated.

 

On September 15, 2021, the Board of Estimates recommended this appropriation to the City Council.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Section 1.  Be it ordained by the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, That $1,630,015.63 shall be made available to the Department of Public Works - Service 663 (Waste Removal and Recycling) as a Supplementary General Fund Operating Appropriation for Fiscal Year 2021, to provide funding for solid waste contractor and collection routing software  expenses resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.  The source of revenue for this appropriation is funds from CARES in excess of the amount from this source that was relied on by the Board of Estimates in determining the tax levy required to balance the budget for Fiscal Year 2021.

 

Section 2.  And be it further ordained, That this Ordinance takes effect on the date it is enacted.
